News On January 18th 2007, Vacheron Constantin opened its 16th exclusive boutique (its 8th in China including Hong Kong) in Hangzhou.
The team of Vacheron Constantin Asia Pacific, represented in particular by its Managing Director Jean-Michel Paray, as well as Charlie Lai, Managing Director of Hong Kong and China of Vacheron Constantin, was accompanied for this special occasion by Jane Fong, Managing Director of Shenzhen Harmony World Watch Centre, and Xu Dong Cheng, President of Shenzhen Harmony World Watch Centre, Vacheron Constantin’s ambassadors and partners in Hangzhou.
The numerous guests, including a hundred or so journalists as well as many VIPS and clients, were able to admire this new showroom. The latter is inspired by the lines of the Vacheron Constantin boutique in Geneva and features a simple yet elegant interior design highlighted by precious materials such as wood, marble and leather, all reflecting the serene intimacy and warm atmosphere characteristic of the Vacheron Constantin spirit.
This new boutique offers the entire range of services that Vacheron Constantin is dedicated to providing, naturally including the presentation of the brand’s mainstream collections, as well as a chance to change strap or bracelet, ask for advice or request an estimate.
After the boutique inauguration, guests gathered in a prestigious location to celebrate the purest, rarest, most precious and most timeless of all metals, by presenting the collection of platinum watches (the Patrimony Contemporaine, the Malte Chronograph, the Malte Retrograde Perpetual Calendar Openface and the Skeleton Minute Repeater), as well as many platinum antique watches dating back as far as 1820 and belonging to the Vacheron Constantin heritage collection.
To enliven the event and create a special surprise, a reconstituted platinum mine provided guests with a vivid visual experience of all the many stages in the transformation of the metal, from the extraction process right through to the creation of platinum watches.
